The Diamondbacks set their Opening Day roster on Wednesday, placing right-hander Takashi Saito on the 15-day disabled list with a calf strain and outrighting left-hander Mike Zagurski to Triple-A Reno.

We wanted to give you an inside glimpse at the Diamondbacks as they embark on what promises to be a terrific season. And what better way to do that than to actually go inside the clubhouse of the defending West Division champions? OK, so we actually caught up with center fielder Chris Young near the batting cages just outside the Diamondbacks spectacular spring-training clubhouse at Salt River Fields a couple of weeks ago. Close enough. Anyway, we asked Young to play a little game of Heat Index word association with us to shed some light on his teammates.

If Ian Kennedy had better stuff, the Diamondbacks right-hander joked, then perhaps he wouldn't have faced the Los Angeles Dodgers at Salt River Fields on Saturday. Maybe then he'd be a believer in the baseball adage that the more often a pitcher faces a hitter, the less advantage the pitcher has.
